More plinth action from solicitors this week. Following last week’s revelation that Norfolk’s answer to The King, litigator Mark Fitch, is to perform an Elvis impersonation on Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth today at 8pm, Obiter has learned of another lawyer limbering up for a stint as part of artist Antony Gormley’s 100-day project.

London family solicitor VyVy Lewis has bagged a slot on Sunday at 3pm, which – with the support of the Association of Lawyers for Children – she will be using to draw attention to children’s lawyers’ worries. Lewis will be dressed all in white, sporting a bubble-wrap hat, a bubble-wrap placard, a home-made bugle-cum-didgeridoo, and with an inflatable armchair if she can manage to get it onto the plinth. She says she would be delighted to read out any contributions from children’s law solicitors on child protection issues which they would like brought to the public’s attention, and asks folk to email her at vyvymail@yahoo.com with suggestions.

Given the huge number of items on the average children’s lawyer’s worry-list – in the last few weeks alone the Gazette has reported on a crisis in legal aid funding, huge delays in appointing guardians and a surge in the number of care proceedings being brought – Obiter reckons VyVy is going to have to gabble at quite a pace to get through it all. But if it sounds a bit depressing, don’t worry. She will also be playing her didgeridoo and juggling some bubble-wrap juggling balls. Wind permitting, that is.
